There used to be this old restaurant in The Hamptons called John Duck. They had the best cole slaw in the world. Everyone I know who went here said this. Ever have KFC's cole slaw? It was similar to that but MUCH better. Here is John Duck's recipe:
2 carrots, trimmed, peeled and chopped coarsley
1 medium sweet onion such as a Vidalia, peeled and chopped coarsely
1/2 each red bell pepper and green bell pepper, seeded, chopped coarsely
1 head cabbage (about 2 lbs), outer leaves discarded, cored and shredded
2 T sugar
2 T distilled white vinegar
1 T kosher salt
1 T celery seed or caraway seed
1 1/2 C Hellmann's mayonnaise or more to taste
In batches, pulse carrots, onion, peppers, and cabbage separately, until each is finely chopped. Do not over process. Combine ingredients in a bowl.
Combine sugar and vinegar in a pan and stir over low heat until sugar mels. Pour over vegetables and mix. Add mayo andmix. Add more salt and/or mayo if desired.
Chill for 1 hour and serve. About 10 cups.

what happens to the celery seed
ReplyDeleteIt's not only the ingredients but in the John Duck's special preparation. It was finely diced, smaller than 1/8". The mayonnaise base was tight and not over mayo'd – just enough to dress the vegetables. My dad improvised when he made it with bread & butter pickle juice (never dill pickle juice) due to the spices in it rather than the mayo base.
